Literature the Fashionable Fad.

Literature is the fashionable fad now, just
as art used TO be. The same women who a
couplc Of seasons ago, were going mad over
plaaues and panels are now incoming their
afternoons away at literary classes or public
readings The bric-a-brac craze has been
snnnlanted by a craze for books, and nc

brains or a bushel you must read the poets

4 dreadful stir was created IN what Is
known rs our literary society last week by
the appearance in Town Topics of sarcastic
sketch called Mrs Turyeydrop's Reading
Class 1t purported TO be young lady's
description of a meeting Of a certain literary
circle which is just now enjoying great popu-
laritv The subject was freely and caustic-
allv handled and under the names that
figured in it the originals were readily ldentl-
fled. The humbug of these 1imsy affairs was
adroitly and mercilessly stabbed by the satir-
lists keen pen, and the paper, which has won q
place of polite consideration and dread with
society for its mercicss mOckery of its fOibles
exnerienced an active boom in upper tendon
The result is said TO have been the dissolution
of several minor reading classes and the sta
tioning Of sentries at the door Of the ont

COLLISION ON THE SOUND.
A Schooner Crashes Into the Steamer
Waterbury During a Thick Fog.

New YORK, February 1.-THE steamer
Waterbury, which runs between this city
and Bridgeport, Conn, arrived at an
early hour this morning at her slip, foot
of Catherine street. She looked like
wreck, and the twenty-three passengers
she carried were mighty glad to set their
feet once more on solid earth. The
whole pert side of the steamer above the
lower deck, as high up as the top of the
pilot house, was one mass of broken
glass, wood, iron, and ropes, the result of
a collision this morning at ten minutes to
three o'clock, while the steamer was en-
veloped in a fog off Glen Cove, Long
Island. Captain Brooks makes the fol-
lowing statement At about ten min
utes to three o'clock we were off Glen
Cove and the fog was very thick. We
were going slow when suddenly a big
black three-masted schooner on the port
tack was right along side of us. The
pilot rang to stop the engines and back,
but it was no use. We had little too
much headway on and the jibbOom of
the schooner, which, think, was coal
laden came right on board, smashing
into the pilot house on the upper deck.
There was splintering OF wood and a
smashing of glass
1--WE tried to heave the wheel over and
back the steamer out of the way, but in
so doing discovered that the port steer
ing gear had been carried away, and that
/ the vessel would not answer her helm
until it was repaired The damage was
all on the port side of the steamer and
right where the officers quarters are sit
uated. The name of the schooner which
struck us | could not ascertain. She was
apparently uninjured. The passengers
awoke in a terrible fright. They screamed
wildly and rushed around the saloon in
their night clothes appealing for help
The youngest one of the party, young
lady about 1S years of age, tainted from
fright"
The damage done to the steamer can be
repaired at a cost of about 81 900.

REVIEW,

New YORK. February 1l.-Although for
eign quotations both for consols and Ameri-
can securities came lower this morning
local markets were held fairly well, and such
stock as were sold were taken by good parties,
this being especially the case in Erie secur'-
ties, and they have kept firm throughout
the day in spite of reaction IN some OF the
leading stocks. The dull tone which pre-
vailed during the noon hour inducing some
realizations, the room traders as usual being
inclined to sell The position as far as the
strike question is concerned, seems gradu-
ally resolving itseftowards a speedy solution,
and we believe permanent settlement must
be soon reached, and that too, one which
will provide against any recurrence OF SUCH
a state of affairs as we have lately expert
enced. Lake Shore has been sold by bears
in connection with the Nickle Plate settle
ment, and the market closed weak. Money,

Passenger Train Falls Through a Z

Passenger Train Falls Through Bridge
CLEVELAND, O., February 1.-THE
Cleveland and Pittsburg express, which
left here at 12:45 this morning, ran
through bridge about six miles from
the city. The engine and baggage and
express cars ran across all right, but the
smoker, containing four passengers, went
down with the bridge. The engine and
express and baggage cars ran OIL the
track after crossing the bridge and turned
over. The day coach went partially over
into the stream, But was held back by the
sleeper, which remained on the track
The passengers in the smoker miraculous
ly escaped injury. The fireman had one
leg broken. The high water undermined
the abutments of the bridge and caused
the accident.

minutes there was a duel between cheers

but there is really nothing new in what
he said. His audience dwindled away

Towards the end, in denouncing dyna-

dramatic As he stood or leaned over
